Brendan Trembath

Brendan's ABC career began in 1990 when fresh out of university he landed a job in radio news. Notable stories he covered included the long running trial of the backpacker killer Ivan Milat and the police corruption inquiries based on the evidence of the underworld boss Arthur "Neddy" Smith.

In 1996 Brendan was hired by a New York-based business TV network to be its Australia correspondent. He later moved to the network's Tokyo bureau.

Brendan returned to the ABC in late 2004, initially working for ABC NewsRadio and ABC Television's Midday Report.
